It is even more shocking that the person who stormed the ground was the owner of the Evangelos Marinakis. The owner of the Manirakis, a Greek businessman, is a 's football tycoon' who owns not only Nottingham but also Olympiacos, AC Monza and Hiu Ab.
The clash took place on the 11th (Korean time). Nottingham was reduced to a scapegoat for an extraordinary incident at the City Ground, his home ground. It drew 2-2 with Leicester City, 19th place, which was confirmed to be demoted.
Nottingham, who crossed the "big four" and dreamed of participating in the European Champions League (UCL), has dropped to seventh place (62 points) with one win, two draws and three losses in the last six games. Of course, there is still hope.
There is only one point gap with fifth-place Chelsea (63 points). EPL's 1st to 4th place is basic, and as it cruises in this season's European competition, it will also qualify for the UCL finals next season.
But a draw with Leicester City was unacceptable. The owner of the Marinakis exploded. He rushed to coach Nunu Santo, who encouraged the players as the final whistle blew.
According to England's 'The Sun', the two engaged in a war of words, and the owner of the Marinakis continued to push coach Nunu Santo with angry gestures. In the wake of the controversy, the owner of the Marinakis even issued a statement.

Wiryojin was deployed to check Awoniyi, but there was no big problem, so he set up his thumb. And coach Nunu Santo put in Elian Anderson as the final replacement card. But Awoniyi was not in a condition to run.
In a statement, the owner of the Marinakis said "Today is a day to celebrate. This is because Nottingham will be able to compete on the European stage again for the first time in 30 years. This is a promise I made to my fans when I was promoted. We have two more games left in the Premier League, but we will continue to believe and dream until the whistle of the final game.
And "We are very proud of Nunu Santo and the squad. We should all celebrate the historical achievements of this season. However, he was frustrated that Awoniyi's injury and the medical staff made a wrong judgment about his ability to continue playing. This is natural. It shows our passion for the club. Let's all be grateful, passionate, and keep dreaming."

And when asked if the Awoniyi incident blew up the owner of the Marinakis "It was because of that. It was a misunderstanding, and the communication was wrong. I'm sorry. I can't tell you any more about it."
Speaking at a press conference later, Nunu said "There was a misunderstanding between the coaching department and the medical department, and both were frustrated. Thanks to the passion of the owner, our club is growing. The owner pushes us, and he wants us to do better."
Coach Nunu Santo was withdrawn from the club by Chairman Daniel Levy when he was the head coach of Tottenham. He took the helm of Tottenham in June 2021. However, he was replaced in about four months after scoring 15 points in 10 EPL matches.
